Fulham played a full part in our turnaround, beat us in the playoff final thank god which helped see the end of Tony Xia and Steve Bruce and then a short few years later thrashed us 3-0 which led to Gerrard getting sacked that very night. Love you Fulham 😘
Cheers lad, it's great to see Forest back up there. I've got loads of Forest mates and nobody has been through the heartache you've had to deal with for nearly 30 years
I feel the same about your club. Always wanted you guys in the pl. You can't have two European cups and not be playing day in day out against the best teams in England. Nottingham belong in the Premier league
Even as a relatively young football I feel like people forget how big Villa we're as recent as the late 2000s they were at least as big/competitive as Spurs.
@@johnlau6749 Emery did actually want to keep Ings I’m pretty sure he said he was disappointed he left. I think Ings chose to leave because Watkins was clearly Emery’s main striker.
@@GuitarJammerJohn but there is no point for Ings to be disappointed tho. Like we saw already, Watkins is the main and long-term CF moving forward. Watkins already scored around 11 goals already this season so far
@@johnlau6749 that's not my point I meant Emery was disappointed Ings chose to leave of course Watkins was the starter that's why Ings left. But I think Emery did want to keep Ings he's a good player to bring on at the end of the game if you need a goal and he likes to have depth in all positions.
This is an excellent vid! My only note is that surely Kamara has to be mentioned as one of, if not the best, transfers of the NSWE ownership. How an average at best Villa at the time pulled off a free transfer for him is beyond me.
@@nathanmoore7120 Apparently, the club were tracking Kamara before Gerrard came to the club. But, Kamara may have been swayed to join by the superstar name of one of England's best midfielders. Shame his on-field talent as a player, never translated well to his off-field management.
@@nathanmoore7120tbf I would say also signing Digne has eventually turned out pretty well too though I wasn’t sure about him at first and Carlos hasn’t been terrible just seems to be more of a solid backup.
Kamara on a free is outrageous. But Konsa for 12mil, Luiz for 16mil, Emi Martinez for 20mil, Ramsey as an academy player, all impressive first teamers developed at the club.
I hope it lasts honestly. Not a Villa fan but they've got really good supporters and it's a grand old club. Good to have them back and doing well in the league.
I started supporting Villa back in 2005 and seeing them relegated crushed me personally but seeing them back in the top flight again brings me happiness
It shows when the entire club is on board. Everything clicks. Clubs like Brighton, Brentford, Villa, Newcastle, West Ham, have all shown incredible growth over the years. You get everything together, and you can really push far. Yes, I know money is involved, but people don't realize how massively coaching goes into it. These clubs have got the best managers for them, and if they continue making good progress, they'll be well established for years to come. Some more so than others yes, but its still a good look.
They are a grand old club, and one that I always categorise with Spurs and Everton. There was a period where you could throw a blanket over their league positions, usually just behind the top four. Then Spurs improved past both as their fortunes waned. One thing for sure is that having a history and fan base isn’t enough - you have to earn the success. What this video shows is it starts from the top down. Through the correct ownership model, the right leadership team, developing a football philosophy then investing in a manager and players who fit the model. The good thing about the video is it shows where veering away from this model (the Coutinho purchase) didn’t quite work, but how they got back on track - with their 2023 purchases. Man United could learn a lot from Villa’s approach.
"It's time to start taking Aston Villa seriously." They are playing some really nice ball. Not just sitting back like many smaller clubs do against the "big" teams, they are taking it to them, good for them.
You have to give Gerrard some credit in this transition. His appointment was a step change in the belief and excitement around the club on the rise again, and improved the squad depth as a result. Of course, we're now seeing the difference a proper coach makes!
Kamara needs to be mentioned, not only in the pitch as a vital part of the midfield. His injuries have been big misses. But also a rare bit of good news in the Gerrard era, brought in on a free but now a French international. Easily a £50m player now. Not to mention the added value players like Watkins, Luiz and Ramsay, Konsa and Martinez. Easily added £300m to the value of the squad in last 2 years.
i remeber when he dove against them, which i know they needed the title for the treble but to a former club? one you were at for a long time? disrespectful imo, still love grealish though
It's funny none of the comments here mentions Emi Martinez, probably the main reason why they are in second place. Without him they would be in the middle of the standings.
2:41 on New Years Day of his debut season Wesley was the victim of a horrendous tackle from Ben Mee (Google image it, the photo will make you wince) and his knee exploded. He didn’t kick a ball for nearly 18 months after that tackle and when he finally did it was off the bench in the 88th min, something he managed to do three or four times before leaving the club. He’d had a slow start to his career but twenty games isn’t enough to judge him on when his career was so obviously ruined by serious injury.
As an Arsenal Fan more apprecaition for Unai and see why we picked him up. We really tend to hire very data driven highly tactical managers. That is Wenger's legacy and hopefully what we always do
Aston Villa's recent success on and out the pitch is the result of one thing (Which many clubs like Man United, Chelsea and others fail) a good and effective club management
We do he's just a player you can't really replace although not many clubs would spend what we're asking for especially not Arsenal the club that are linked with him
Arsenal fans trolled Emery. Emery then went to Villareal and won the Europa and returned back to EPL while Arsenal still hasn't won anything significant
Dean Smith!!!! He bought the right players who were not only good but smart enough to take on information to get better. The core of emerys team are smith signings.
I stand to earn a fair few quid if Villa end top 4. It probably will pay for what I lost last season when I thought Hull City would get get promoted following a very interesting summer 2022 transfer window.
this took you guys way too long to talk about considering how much you've been going on about newcastle and brighton over the past year while villa have been out performing all but a few teams in the whole league
I expected some more tactical insight to be honest. I also think people overrate Villa a bit. Yes, they are much better than they were when they were in the Championship. But I remember Villa in the 2000s finishing 7th too, and nobody was singing their praises about how they would give the top 4 a hard time. They have impressively beaten Man City recently, but if they want top 4 we'll have to see them make moves in the market very soon.
We have the distinction of being the team they beat to win it. 😅 it's nice to Villa playing so well, especially for all the abuse Emery got from the Arsenal fans.
arsenal and mk dons are also the only two teams to cheat for their position in the football hierarchy. not sure any of their achievements can be counted
So Emery is one of the only, if not the only manager in the Premier League. With the rest being coaches. It is rare to have a manager these days since most clubs have adopted the European system which delegated responsibilities of management to several roles.
I will always remember when Villa robbed Sheffield United to stay in the prem, things are just meant to be, now they’re one of the best teams in England
